WanderingPoltergeist, do gaming w Highly anticipated indie Sims 4 rival Paralives sets early access release window for 2025
@WanderingPoltergeist@kbin.social avatar

@mike591 I'm excited for this game because they've built up a lot of sensible gameplay elements so early on in development. The social system seems more interesting than The Sims 4, where you could become best friends and marry someone on the same day you met them (I've done this so often, even with conflicting personality traits). It takes both time and effort to befriend the other Paras! That is what I desire from a social sim, investing time into creating the story for my character and having that time feel meaningful.

I will not start another playthrough. I will not start another playthrough. I will not start another playthrough. I will not start another playthrough.

How's your new playthrough going?

I'm temporarily staving it off by playing two other RPGs.

Yepthatsme, do gaming w Starfield's planets are an illusion: you can't land on them

This article is for idiots. What a dumb test. This isn’t SC or ED or SB2.

If you want to fly around space in a sim buy another game.

If you want a quest and story rich world buy this game.

Why couldn't this device have been the one to have "360" in the name? It would have worked (for once!).

"Why do they call it the PieceShyt360? Because you throw it away and it boomerangs right back to you!"

Seriously, though, how am I going to catch the Joker with this thing?

For reals: looks like it has bad ergonomics, the software (just stock Android?) looked to be performing poorly in that one video, it will be super overpriced probably, and we don't know how locked down it will be. If it is cheap and we have play store services, it might be an ok emulation device?

So… could someone explain to me what makes this better than just using the Remote Play app on whatever device you want? That has existed for years and has always worked great.

Probably not much, especially if you already like the controller. I have a crap controller that I use with my phone, so it would probably be an upgrade over that... but even so, I’d rather just buy a better controller.

WowMyNameIsUnique,

Yeah… Even then, it basically just uses a PS5 controller with a tablet in between it. If someone likes the controller here, they can use literally any other PS5 controller. They can’t even use the argument that it’s more portable when it’s a hefty 8" tablet lol. What a strange device…

I hope no one buys it so they stop this shit.

Scaldingly hot take: this is not a good thing, but one of the biggest criticisms of the Creation Club is that its content is just one off items and whatnot, and not enough quests. Well, there you go, a questline.

The Creation Kit might end up saving this game, too. I still think there are over 50% odds it pulls a Cyberpunk and is remembered fondly.

The game is crap anyway; its a checklist walking game

CrowAirbrush,

You forgot “loading screen simulator” unless they fixed that, i don’t know.

_sideffect,

Don’t think they did, no

MehBlah,

Now with a paywall. Just like most other trashy games these days.

So, business as usual for Bethesda.

Polish info about this update was such a word salad that i didn’t even get the most important thing, so maybe someone here knows: are we finally getting mod tools?

ZeroHora,

Yep, they released the creation kit on steam

Finally, hope its not too late

Wooki, do games w Starfield's latest update draws player ire by sticking a bounty hunting quest behind the Creation Club paywall

Bethesda showing how it will go bankrupt before it learns. Time to fire the ceo!

Kroxx,

They are owned by Microsoft, until that changes it doesn’t matter who is “in charge” at Bethesda they will be scummy.

Man, I’m glad it’s so easy to not give a single shit about this game.

Yeah, I have the special edition that will include all of the DLC (It was a promotional gift from AMD) and you would have to pay me to play any of it.

More of this game is not something I’m interested in!

At least I don‘t have to worry about Microsoft closing this studio soon. And not because I don’t think they wouldn’t do it. They absolutely would. It’s just that I wouldn’t care a bit.

Don_alForno, do games w Starfield's latest update draws player ire by sticking a bounty hunting quest behind the Creation Club paywall

Article without tracking paywall bullshit.

So, the player frustration this quest is inspiring isn’t a straight-up next entry in the long-running paid mods debate that’s been going on within the Bethesda community with regards to the Creation Club for a while now, but rather folks simply being unhappy with the monetisation practices Bethesda’s employing with regards to its own stuff.

I suppose that will be part of it, but it takes a load of willful ignorance to not see that the reason they distribute it this way is to ease people into the idea of using the infrastructure they ultimately set up to monetize other people’s work (i.e. mods).

At this point, Western gaming companies’ monetization schemes are becoming worse than gacha, so you may as well go play Genshin Impact ;-)
